| 810736 | 2009-09-16 04:45:00 | Hi Folks. Can someone kindly refresh my memory as to how to check the up/down speeds of my broadband? Thanks | Scouse (83) | ||
| 810737 | 2009-09-16 05:09:00 | Speedtest (Speedtest.net) my friend | password (5384) | ||
| 810738 | 2009-09-16 05:11:00 | Two ways, you can find your modem's connection speed from the admin/setup of the modem or you can download something from a speed test site. The 1st lets you know how good your connection is and the 2nd lets you know how congested your ISP's routes to other places are. | PaulD (232) | ||

Using my crystal ball to guess that you have a Thomson Speedtouch, go to 192.168.1.254 in your browser, then "Broadband Connection, DSL Connection and it should show in Link Information Bandwidth (Up/Down) in kbps. |

| 810743 | 2009-10-10 18:35:00 | You can check Your internet speed in the site My word, that site is fast! It moved Xnet's office to Mount Cook before I could even blink, never spilled a drop of the staff coffee either. Sort of gives all the information you are never likely to need, and keeps the speed secret too. ;) |

| 810744 | 2009-10-11 00:43:00 | Speedtest.net is often up to 50% inaccurate due to the fact its single source and if any of the hops is slow the result is slow, may as well use a random number generator lol I am blown away journalists use this rubbish when rating ISP's when they should be real world testing with multi source downloads from known fast sources. |

| 810745 | 2009-10-11 02:58:00 | Yeah the best way to test your real download speed is with a real download. Sync rates in your router can be a good start but the actual throughput is usually lower so they are not as accurate as download tests |
